I just recently had to replace the seat assembly on a cab 12 FAT. It was the early and low one. The tracks were horribly bent, and after straightening them and re-installing them, the seat would fail again the next day.
The holes were already on the floor which matched a cab 13 seat frame so installed that. Bonus was that it sits a lot higher, and with a bit of oil, it slides like hot butter.

Rob, what was the failure point? The tracks for the early ones are very light weight compared to the later ones.
Bob, I actually find the original spring bases and horsehair padding pretty comfortable compared to anything foam will provide.

It was indeed the tracks. The tracks would pop out at inopportune times. They had become twisted, and the base of the seat had been rewelded onto the pan at some point in it's history. I'm not so sure the geometry was correct.
